Fermi'S Paradox      
                          
                                          
 On  Earth (The  Planet Where  I  Live) A 
 Lot  Of Us Have Antennas On  Our  Houses 
 Or   Balconies,  We  Have  Built   Large 
 Antennas For  Larger  Bandwith,  We Have 
     Build Specialized Antennaes For      
   Specific Wavelengths (And Sent Them    
 Into Orbit),  We'Ve Built Large As  Fuck 
              Antenna Arrays              
 We'Ve Virtually  Built An Antenna With A 
          Dish As Large As Earth.         
                                          
 We'Ve Learned About  Our Position In The 
     Solar System, Our Solar Systems      
 Placement  In   The   Galaxy,   And  Our 
 Galaxys Placement In The  Local Cluster, 
 And  Our Local Clusters Place  In  The 
          Grand Scheme Of Things          
                                          
 And  We'Re  Moving  Around  The  Sun  At 
 Velocity And  The Suns Moving Around The 
 Center  Of  The  Galaxy At  Velocity And 
 The  Galaxy Is Moving  Toward  Andromeda 
   And We'Re Both Moving Anticlockwise    
 Around The Galaxy. And We As  A  Species 
 Have Learned To Take All That In Account 
                                          
 And  Despite  All  This, Despite All Our 
   (Cliche) Beaming Of Fucking Stellar    
 Radio  Programmes Out  In  Fucking Space 
 At  The  Speed Of  Light  (Light Is  Our 
  Medium! Goodspeed You, Black Emperor!), 
      Despite Ghosts Helping And The      
     Collective Consciousness Lowpass     
   Filtering, Despite Our Very Obvious    
 Beaming Of  All  Our  Secrets  In  Every 
          Direction Known To Us,          
                                          
 No       One       Has       Answered

              So Why Is That?             
                                          
 Most  Opponents  To Intelligent Life  In 
 The Universe  Say It'S Because  You Need 
 A Class One-Or-The-Other  Star  And  The 
 Planet  Needs  To  Be  At  A  See-And-So 
 Distance Away From The Star (Like  There 
           Has To Be A Planet!)           
                                          
 But  Really  Isn'T  That   Keeping   The 
      Definition Of Life Really Lax?      
                                          
 I  Think Everyone Agrees That We Have No 
 Idea What  We'Re  Doing (And It Probably 
                  Shows)
